Product Description
‘Streaker was so gobsmacked she leaped into the air as if she had a pogo stick attached to each leg. Ker-poinnggg!’
Streaker runs like a jet-propelled-hurricane, which could cause problems when she enters the local dog show. She has to do well or she’ll get into trouble with the local police . . . and Trevor will get into trouble with horrible Charlie Smugg – AGAIN!

Format:Paperback
If you've read any of Strong's books you'll know exactly what to expect. The humour is pitched straight at 8 to 12 year olds. So are the situations. After all, any police chief in real life misusing his authority like Supt Boffington-Orr would soon find himself facing the Police Complaints Commission. However, this being Strong's world the Super can order Streaker's owner, Trevor, to train and enter her in the local dog show which she has to win in order to avoid being put down. As Streaker is a brainless and untrainable mutt this is the springboard to various bizarre happenings before it all comes good in the end. Plus, the bully from the first book finally gets his comeuppance in this one. This provides a neat closure for youngsters nagged by the sense of injustice created by the ending of the first book. My eight year old son certainly enjoyed this story. Well he would, he's never heard of the Police Complaints Commission.
